198 Driving and Operating
Automatic Transmission
The shift switches are on the center console.
The selected gear position will illuminate red
on the shift switch, while all others will be
displayed in white. If the shift is not
immediate, as in very cold conditions, the
indicator on the shift switch may flash until
it is fully engaged.
The transmission does not operate when the
vehicle is off.
If the vehicle is in accessory mode, the
transmission can be shifted into P (Park).
If ENGINE START/STOP is pressed twice while
at a relatively high speed, the engine will
turn off and the transmission will
automatically shift into N (Neutral). Once
the vehicle is stopped, P (Park) can be
selected.
P : This position locks the drive wheels. Use
P (Park) when starting the vehicle to ensure
the vehicle does not move.
{
Warning
It is dangerous to get out of the vehicle
if the transmission is not in P (Park) with
the parking brake set. The vehicle
can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the engine
is running. If the engine has been left
running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be
sure the vehicle will not move, even
when on fairly level ground, always set
the parking brake and place the
transmission into P (Park). See Shifting
Into Park 0 196 and
Driving Characteristics and Towing Tips
0 242.
This vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled transmission. The
R (Reverse) and D (Drive) shift switches are
designed to prevent inadvertent shifting out
of P (Park) unless the vehicle is on, and the
brake pedal is applied.
When the vehicle is stopped, press ENGINE
START/STOP to turn off the vehicle. The
transmission will shift to P (Park)
automatically.
The vehicle will not shift into P (Park) if it is
moving too fast. Stop the vehicle and shift
into P (Park).
To shift in and out of P (Park), see Shifting
Into Park 0 196 and
Shifting out of Park 0 196.
R : Use this gear to back up.
If the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse)
while the speed is too high, the vehicle will
shift into N (Neutral). Reduce the vehicle
speed and try the shift again.

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Pull the R (Reverse) switch on the center
console.
To shift out of R (Reverse):
